Floorboard mounted kickstand puck

ABSTRACT

A kickstand puck were it&#39;s thickness matches the gap between the frame and isolation pad of a motorcycle floorboard. The two end shapes are formed to match the inside form of the outboard side of a floorboard frame. A groove down the center of one side of the puck is at a width and depth to match the full form of the inboard side of a floorboard frame.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Came up with this invention while watching motorcycle riders fumble around when holding their motorcycle up and trying to reach what ever they were going to place under the kick stand to keep it from sinking into the soft soil. I have seen many items used for this but all seem to be carried in an inconvenient place or not carried at all because of inconvenience. This invention cures the inconvenience of storing such a piece on the motorcycle and turns it into a simple task of storing with easy, convenient accessability when use is needed. Designed to be self storing to the existing motorcycle floorboards with easy access while the rider remains in the seated position of the motorcycle is the critical element to this invention.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

This product will be used underneath a motorcycle kickstand to keep the kickstand from sinking into soft soil while the motorcycle is parked and therefore helping to prevent the motorcycle from tipping over. When this product is not in use it is designed to be self storing onto the motorcycle's existing floorboards and accessible to the rider from the seated position.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING VIEWS

Drawing 1/2 is showing this product in the stored position on the motorcycle floor board. It has been slid between the floorboard isolation pad and the floorboard steel frame. The product is being trapped in place by the design of it's shape and size. Top view is as seen from the riding position of the motorcycle. Section A view is showing how the shape of product along with it's thickness is what keeps itself secured in between isolation pad and steel frame of floorboard.

Drawing 2/2 is showing the Kickstand Puck only.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This product will be made of plastic by an injection mold process. This will allow it to be light weight, strong, heat and weather resistant. This product has been designed to specific dimensions that will allow it to be self securing for storage while not in use, to an existing floorboard of a motorcycle. It has been designed to be gently removed from or inserted into the motorcycle floorboard while the rider remains in the seated position on the motorcycle. It is designed to be secured to the floorboard without the use of any fasteners or tools. The thickness has been determined to fit snuggly between the isolation pad and the steel frame of the motorcycle floorboard while the end shapes and center groove have been designed to fit the contour of the floorboard's steel frame. This exacting size and shape is what allows it to be self securing without the need for fasteners of any sort. The taper shape of the ends is also what allows for it to be gently inserted or removed while remaining in the seated position. 

1. The claim to this invention is the fact that this kickstand puck is designed to be self storing to the motorcycle's existing floorboards, without the need for any fasteners or tools while the rider remains in the seated position on the motorcycle.
